Hola For those who havent heard. One week ago, More Liana ( Cristina Potters ) passed away. For many many years, she was a valued member of this webboard. Since 2005, she shared her love and immense knowledge ( the culinary expert she was ) and respect for Mexico through MexicoCooks.typepad.com. She spoke perfect Spanish. I learnt a lot from her. I will miss her. Rony

There is a whole bunch of smaller private hospitals in Guadalajara, that are FAAAR less expensive and as good as the ones mentioned above. Rony

Sad. Another long time member of this webboard gone. RIP Ceri

Here is a link to a publication of January 2023, from the Bienestar website. 25 years residence is not mentioned anymore here. https://programasparaelbienestar.gob.mx/pension-bienestar-adultos-mayores/

I just messaged you

The 1092 pesos is not the amount that they pay. It says that you cant have another pension of more than 1092, in order to get the Bienestar one.

Like I wrote....things might have changed or some people got lucky. This is from the Mex government website pdf ( where they also mention that a birth certif is required ) : I. ¿Quiénes pueden ser los beneficiarios? Las personas de 65 años de edad en adelante, mexicanos por nacimiento o con un mínimo de 25 años de residencia en el país, que no reciban pensión mayor a $1,092.00 pesos mensuales por concepto de jubilación o pensión de tipo contributivo.

Maybe my pdf from the government website is not uptodate and things have changed then. It doesnt show a date. I looked again. But it clearly says : Mexican by birth or 25 years residency here. Or some people got lucky 😀

Interesting about the bienestar pension. I have a pdf from a government website that says that you can get it if : - Mexican citizen " by birth " - or having lived here for 25 years. By the way... there is a facebook group " Naturalización y Nacionalidad Mexicana ", with 30 000 members. A lot of useful info there. And maybe I am wrong....but I always believed that after 60, there is no language test. Rony

Thank you. Doing great 😊. Goodnight.

DIF accepts clothes. I was there last week, and asked them if we could donate clothes that belonged to a friend who passed away recently. Rony

Chapala municipal clinic is where I would go. Not that far from Riberas

I also collected the GB for when Telmex went out. I then used that cell phone ( with plan amigo ) as a hotspot and could continue teaching online classes with those GB s on my laptop. I have had plan amigo for many years and have been very happy with it.

Yes. It rolls over if extended on or before the last day. At one time, I had collected 20 GB in total ( added up... ) Rony

I had the same thing. It lasted a few days and when I finally picked up the phone, I didnt speak and held the phone in front of a German talk radio. It was their last call. I know that it was a cruel thing to do, but hey.....à la guerre comme à la guerre
